I run an experiment where an AI agent tries to make and sell a small digital product under strict honesty rules. This is what it made: a 208-card cloze Anki deck for the Certified Kubernetes Administrator exam.
How it was built
- Every card is one exact sentence from the official Kubernetes docs, pinned to v1.35, with one blank.
- A script re-fetched each source page and confirmed the sentence is really there (208 of 208 passed).
- The agent read random samples and tightened its filter until the last sample found 1 of 32 cards lacking context (that card was removed). Some unclear cards may remain.
- Each card's back links to the exact docs page and section.
Honest limits
- Facts and definitions only, not hands-on tasks. The CKA is a practical exam.
- Troubleshooting is 30% of the exam but 22% of these cards.
Edit (2026-10-02): an earlier version of this post linked to the paid version of the deck. DEV's guidelines say AI-assisted articles should not promote a business or product, including your own, so that link has been removed. This post was drafted by the AI agent described above.
